In AWS load balancer log is there anyway to disable client Ip storage .
Like Client Ip "123.123.123.123" at the place of Ip we can store Null.

I have a domain name mydomain.com registered on amazon route 53.
I have an EC2 instance in which I installed a docker portainer image under 9000 port.
My docker image run perfectly under ec2 public ip address:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9000
What I want now is to create a subdomain: portainer.mydomain.com and pointed it to my EC2 portainer instance.
When I try to create a new record set portainer.mydomaon.com and point it to my docker image instance I can't specify the port value.
I know I miss something, I'm on my beginning on DNS domains.
Route 53 is a DNS resolver. Its job is to resolve domain to ip address. It has nothing to do with port.
But there are some alternatives:
Add a secondary ip to the instance to host multiple websites and bind them to port 80. You add an additional ip by attaching elastic network interface (ENI).
Add Application Load Balancer with host based routing (you will get much more control, you can even do path based routing as well). See: Listeners for Your Application Load Balancers - Elastic Load Balancing
S3 redirection (Route 53 Record Set on Different Port)
I created a java app and I deployed into a Google Cloud Compute Engine, then I created a Load Balancer, but when I try to access to Load Balancer Frontend IP with port 443 it redirect to port 80
You can create forwarding rules that reference an IP address and port(s) on which Load balancer accepts traffic. Here are the conceps for forwarding rules 1.

i am new to using EC2, I have an EC2 instance that can reboot daily for maintenance and after the reboot, i get new public IP(i can't use elastic IPS there are all allocated).
so my problem is the instance contains an application that I need to be accessible via a domain (exemple.com), but I can figure out how to set custom DNS on NameCheap and in AWS this DNS automatically resolve the new public IP of that instance after reboot.
If you feel your architecture warrants additional Elastic IP addresses, you can request a limit increase. To request an increase, complete the Amazon VPC limit request form (choose VPC Elastic IP Address Limit). Describe your use case so that AWS can understand your needs.
You can put your instance behind ElasticLoadBalancer. Each Classic Load Balancer receives a default Domain Name System (DNS) name. This DNS name includes the name of the AWS region in which the load balancer is created. For example, if you create a load balancer named my-loadbalancer in the US West (Oregon) region, your load balancer receives a DNS name such as my-loadbalancer-1234567890.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com. You can then use your DNS service to create a CNAME record to route queries to your load balancer. Then, your EC2 instance does not need to have stable public IP address.
You can delegate example.com resolution to AWS DNS service, Route53, and then you can run a script on server boot to update Route53 records with the latest IP address.
On a AWS EC2 ELB security profile - i need a couple of IP Address to be able to access only certain pages of my website. Is it possible? The other IP Address will have access to the full website. Is this achievable
This is not possible as a configuration in the Load Balancer because the Load Balancer simply distributes requests to your application servers.
Your application will need to enforce such functionality.
I have a single ec2 instance running a website behind an elastic load balancer in aws. Mainly because I want to use Amazon's new and free ssl for https.
my challenge is, I need to whitelist my IP address in the security groups so that I am the only person that can see this website (and I can selectively add people as needed).
I've successfully whitelisted my IP address without a load balancer. my challenge is white listing my IP address with the load balancer proxy between my IP address and my ec2 instance.
it appears as if my ec2 instance will not register with the load balancer because the security group for my ec2 does not allow incoming traffic from any IP address except for my own.
I am looking for a way for my load balancer to be able to health check my ec2, yet only allow specific whitelisted ips actually see the website.
If you are using a VPC (which you really should be) then you will have a Security Group attached to the load balancer. That's where you will whitelist IP addresses. The EC2 server just needs to whitelist the Load Balancer's security group.
You can visualize it like this:
Your IP -> Security Group 1 -> Load Balancer -> Security Group 2 -> EC2 Instance(s)
Security Group 1 verifies the IP address is on the whitelist, and allows the traffic through to the load balancer. The Load Balancer sends the traffic along to one of the instances in the pool. Security Group 2 verifies that the traffic is coming from something that belongs to Security Group 1 (the load balancer), which has been whitelisted, and allows it to pass through to the EC2 instance.
I was able to solve the issue, by changing the security group of the EC2 to allow incoming http connections on port 80 from the security group assigned to my load balancer.
and then my load balancer itself allows incoming HTTP traffic on port 80 from anywhere.
so I guess the trick here is, you can allow incoming connections from an IP or a security group.
